["Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Area Birders,

David Raines, a Buchanan County Bird Club member, called me from work today
to give me this information.

Yesterday evening at the Grundy High School building he estimated 4000
Chimney Swifts circling then diving into the chimney of the school. He said
it took about 20 minutes for all of them to finally go inside.

Also near his home in the Breaks community near the Breaks Park he saw
around 50 Common Nighthawks wheeling and turning over the fields.
